Amazing, truly surpassed our expectations!
Kathi really made this trip amazing. She was on top of all of our travel accommodations and kept in touch throughout the whole trip. My parents loved planning this trip with her and I will be sure to use her for all of our future trips to SA. This was an amazing experience for my families first time traveling abroad. We felt well taken care of and safe. The safari guides, camp staff, drivers, and hotel staff were incredible. I can’t wait to visit again! Beautiful country and great representation!

Relaxed & Exiting Safari in Tsavo and Amboseli
Isiah is a master of spot finding and makes the whole safari experience relaxed as well as exiting. We spent 4 days with him in Tsavo and Amboseli and saw all you could wish for. 🐘 🦒 🐆 🦁 🐃 🦛 and also hyenas and a lot of birds. All of us felt well guided and taken care of. Isaiah also has a lot of knowledge about the amazing animals which adds to the experience.
We lived at three different camps. First night at Man Eaters Lodge, second night at Tahita Hills and third night at Kibo Safari Camp.
Man Eaters was a 1-⭐️. Location okay but food was terrible. Tahita was a 3-⭐️. Nice hotel but felt like a… hotel. Food was okay. Kibo was a 5-⭐️. Amazing location, service and food.
With this said, we got what we paid for and beyond. The service from the operator Mimsoft was a 5-⭐️.

An UNFORGETTABLE and INCREDIBLE experience that will stay with me in life
Our experience with Kyla Wild Adventures was undoubtedly unforgettable. Prior to the trip, Judith from the team and Joseph, the company owner, reached out to me promptly. They carefully enquired about my requirements, answered all my questions with great kindness, and provided excellent itineraries along with competitive quotes. Their warmth built my full trust in this company, and the actual experience lived up to every expectation.
Upon arriving in Kenya, we met our guide David, whose professionalism and enthusiasm were truly impressive. Throughout the safari, he shared detailed knowledge about wildlife and conservation areas, and patiently responded to all our queries. What is more, I have to say David is absolutely phenomenal at spotting animals. He could locate wildlife quickly and position our vehicle for the best viewing spots in good time. Thanks to David, we spotted the complete Big Five! We also managed to take many sharp, clear photographs. We are incredibly grateful to him.
Overall, this has been an extremely satisfying experience. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this journey. Kyla Wild Adventures stands out for its professionalism, passion and friendliness. Its value‑for‑money service, thoughtful trip arrangements and outstanding safari experience are beyond reproach. It is absolutely a trustworthy choice and I would highly recommend them!

An perfectly organized Safari with a brilliant guide
Overall, the safari was perfect. Our guide, Aaron, had an exceptional knowledge of the wildlife and knew exactly where to find the animals. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five. It was truly a dream come true.
Aaron is also a very fair, friendly, and respectful guide and driver, both towards other guides and the park rangers. This definitely pays off during the safari, as he regularly receives helpful information from other guides and rangers about where animals have recently been spotted.
It was an absolutely fantastic experience. Aaron also does his very best to accommodate every request and make anything you suggest possible.

The experience of a lifetime – thank you, Derrick and Wild Uganda!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Derrick and Wild Uganda!
Derrick was an outstanding guide from start to finish. His knowledge about Uganda, its wildlife, nature, and culture is incredible. He answered every single question we had with patience, enthusiasm, and impressive expertise, making every game drive and every day even more interesting.
What really stood out was how much he cared about our experience. He even went out of his way to find Coke Zero for us, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made us feel truly looked after. He was always friendly, professional, reliable, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
We would also like to highly recommend Wild Uganda for organizing our safari. Everything was perfectly planned, and the communication before and during the trip was excellent. Even when our flight schedule changed, they quickly adjusted our itinerary and made everything work without any stress for us. Their flexibility and customer service were exceptional.
Thanks to Derrick and the entire Wild Uganda team, we had an unforgettable trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Uganda!

Outstanding safari through Kenya's unique national parks.
We had an amazing safari with our guide, Aaron.
He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and always seemed to know exactly where to find the animals, thanks to both his experience and his excellent network with fellow guides.
He was always dedicated, professional, and treated nature with great respect.
I can highly recommend going on a safari with him. Seeing the Big Five had always been a dream of mine, and thanks to Aaron, that dream came true.
Thank you so much for these unforgettable experiences in Kenya!

Our 8-Day Safari with Ramble Africa: A Trip We’d Book Again Without Hesitation
Five adults, eight days, four incredible national parks, and one unforgettable guide — our safari with Ramble Africa exceeded every expectation we had going in.
Booking and Communication
Everything about the pre-trip process was refreshingly smooth. All communication happened in English, and we were able to finalize every detail while still in Germany — no last-minute surprises, no confusion. We paid the full amount in advance, which meant we didn’t need to carry cash or deal with high-fee ATM withdrawals in Kenya. For anyone who values a stress-free start to their trip, this made a real difference.
Arrival and Route
On the first morning, we were greeted warmly in Nairobi by the organizer and our guide, who picked us up in our safari vehicle. Over the following eight days, we visited the Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Lake Naivasha — a route that offered a fantastic mix of landscapes and wildlife.
Accommodation
We stayed in a mix of lodges and standard hotels, both booked at a mid-range level. The lodges were our favorite — they felt more authentic and had a distinct character that the hotels sometimes lacked. That said, both categories delivered on the essentials: friendly staff, cleanliness, delicious food, and an overall hassle-free experience. Even when early-morning game drives meant we missed breakfast, the staff always packed us lunch boxes without us having to ask twice.
The Safari Vehicle
We traveled in a typical safari tourist vehicle — clean, safe, and well-equipped. Both the front seats and the rear cabin had access to an opening roof, which let us view animals not just through the windows but from above as well. The roof doubled as sun protection during the long drives between parks, which was a nice practical touch.
Accuracy of the Offer
What we saw matched exactly what was promised. The hotels and lodges lived up to the photos we’d been sent beforehand — nothing was exaggerated or oversold. Given that we booked mid-range accommodations, the standard consistently met Western expectations. For most travelers, this category is more than sufficient.
Our Guide: Aron
If there’s one thing we want to highlight above all, it’s our guide, Aron. He showed us every animal we could have hoped to see and was incredibly knowledgeable about Kenya, patiently answering all our questions. Even after early starts and six-hour drives, his energy and motivation to give us the best possible experience never dropped.
What stood out most was how much he genuinely loves his job and does it with fairness and care. Despite spotting every animal on our list, he never pushed past other tourists in the parks or tried to put us ahead unnecessarily. He simply knew where to find the best sightings and got us there. Rather than startling the wildlife, he’d watch how the animals moved and position the vehicle perfectly, letting them approach naturally — which gave us the best possible photos.
He’s also an exceptionally careful driver, both inside and outside the parks. When another vehicle got stuck in the sand, he didn’t hesitate to help pull it out. Aron made this trip unforgettable.
Tips for Anyone Considering This Trip
• Pay everything online in advance so you don’t need to carry cash.
• Register for M-Pesa if possible — it makes tipping much easier.
• Wake up early more often; animals are most active in the morning.
• Choose lodges over hotels when you have the option.
• Mount Longonot can be climbed without a guide.
• During rest stops between parks, don’t just grab coffee at the gas station — cross the street and interact with locals. It’s worth it.
• Ask for Aron as your guide :)
We’d book this exact trip again without changing a thing.

Unforgettable Serengeti Fly-In Safari with Rioba Safari
Tailored Comfort & Thoughtful Planning
As retirees who wanted to experience the beauty of Tanzania without the physical strain of long, bumpy overland drives (often called the "African massage"), Rioba Safari created the absolute perfect itinerary for us. Their 4-Day / 3-Night Fly-In & Fly-Out Serengeti Package was exactly what we needed, allowing us to arrive refreshed and maximize our time in the park.
Incredible Wildlife & Game Drives
Having three full days of game drives allowed us to explore the Serengeti at a comfortable pace. The wildlife sightings were beyond our expectations:
The Big Five: We spotted four out of the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo)—missing only the elusive rhino!
The Wildebeest Migration: Witnessing the great migration in person was a true bucket-list moment that we will cherish forever.
Exceptional Logistics & Personal Care
A very special thank you to our safari organizer, Donant. From start to finish, his attention to detail made our entire journey smooth and completely worry-free:
He personally handled all of our airport transfers, ensuring every transition was seamless.
His reliability and constant support meant we could relax and focus entirely on the experience.
Final Verdict
If you are looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and expertly organized safari—especially if you prefer a comfortable fly-in option—we cannot recommend Rioba Safari highly enough. Thank you to Donant and the team for a smooth, unforgettable adventure!
